On Tuesday, former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis became the fourth defendant in the Georgia election interference case to take a plea deal.
According to reports from ABC News, Ellis is pleading guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements and writings.
“If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post election challenges,” a tearful Ellis told the judge.
Recently, defendants Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell, and Scott Hall took plea deals in exchange for agreeing to testify against other defendants.
She was sentenced to five years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution and write a letter of apology to Georgia citizens.
In August, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted former President Trump and 18 others for trying to overturn his 2020 defeat in Georgia.
Trump was hit with 13 counts for attempting to overturn President Joe Biden‘s 11,779 vote victory in Georgia. The headline-grabbing charge was a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, a law associated with organized crime mobs.
American Liberty News previously reported:
Willis’ case that Trump and his co-conspirators exerted pressure on Georgia election officials in public and behind closed doors included testimony from 75 witnesses, from former Trump advisers and attorneys to Peach State office-holders.
